Lot Description

1842 Liberty Head Eagle. Large Date. AU-50 (PCGS). Glints of rose-orange mingle with dominant olive-gold patina on both sides of this handsome piece. Boldly defined overall with good luster for the assigned grade. This the more frequently encountered date logotype of the 1842 eagle, the Large Date produced to the extent of 62,884 pieces while the Small Date has a mintage of just 18,623 coins. All early Liberty Head eagles are underrated issues, however, especially in grades above the middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale, as here. PCGS# 8584. NGC ID: 262M.
